Swing and a miss!

It is the only time I can ever recall disagreeing with Ioannidis.

See Harry Crane's response here: A fiasco in the making: More data is not the answer to the coronavirus pandemic

 

[Burt Radnolds]

Yes, his take was essentially universally panned.

 

[BobbyHeenan]

Taleb lambasted him.

Such an academic thing to sit back and “wait for more data” when a freight train heading straight for you.

My guess is loannidis will turn out to be right. High rate of asymptomatic spread and fact most testing done on those with symptoms point in that direction.

Different strain? Polymorphisms in ace ii . Lot we need to find out. Just can’t wrap my head around how containment strategies explain difference between Italy and China if is mostly spread asymptomatically and you have dropped ball for 2 months with virtually no testing.
